Westbrook told them that he and Morris had
quarrelled; that Morris had struck him with Il
pole. and threatened to cut hi with knife.
Then. in striking Mt him again with the pole.
the feeble old man had lost his balance and
fallen over on a row Of stones. whence he re-
ceiyed his injuries.
DIR. Hedges testified that no mado q post
mortem examination. and that the skull was
fractured at the forehead and at the back.
either fracture being capable OF producing
death. Both fractures he said. could not have
been caused by ono fall.

A VICTORY FOR KISSANE,
The Chemical Bank Suit Ruled Out Unde
the Statute OF Limitations.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Spy a ruling Of
Judge Sawyer Of the United States Circuit
Court to-day the case against William Kissane.
which achieved such wide notoriety owing to
the career OF Kissane in the East, was prac-
tically ruled out OF court under tho statute OF
limitations Judge Sawyer sustained the de-
murrer interposed by Kissane to the suit COM
menced by the Chemical National Bank Of
New York. which in effect dismissed this suit
or any others that may be commenced against
Ktssane. known In California as William X.
The progress of the suit OF the bank has been
closely watched. Judgment was asked for
$3.50, and interest at per cent. from Aug.
80, 1854, amounting to about $4,000. The Of
ficers OF the bank asserted that they had lost
that sum through q swindle conducted by Kis-
sane. Lyman Cole, and Andrew Finely. The
wanderipgs OF Rogers In Nicaragua and this
State was set forth and the bank asked that
Rogers be restrained from setting IN the
statute Of limitations to prevent tho progress
Of the suit.
Judge Sawyer in his decision said he regard.
ed the complaint as insui ficient and stale, and
no reasonable cause existed for granting the
restraining order. He said that after being
discharged Kissanc WIS at all times liable to
suit until the operation OF the statute OF limi-
tRtions.
The bank neglected TO commence an action.
The plea OF the plaintiffs, to the effect that the
statutes should not apply because Kissanes
whereabouts were unknown. was ,disregnrded:
Judge Sawyer said that even II Kissane did
not disbar him from having the full benefit OF
the Btatut0.
